THAT was the terrible ‘insult’ to that thug Abbott? I didn’t see it, but it’s obviously not an ‘attack on handicapped people.’ Duh.
What stupid nonsense. I assume ‘Gustavo’ is ‘Scumbag Scalise’ (yes, that WAS a personal insult) again?
Offline
Now Ken’s taken down my post and locked his ‘protective’ comments about Abbot. What a jerk.
Hey Ken, ever gonna take town scientific disinformation by DFM, etc. or punish GOG for his frequent DNR violations?
Every post I make is shadowed by GOG. It’s really comical.

========================================
Inside of Mugwump's post said only "end of story"
The obvious implication was he was making a pun about Abbott being crippled and unable to stand up, but it also COULD have meant that there's NO foundation for Abbott's border nonsense at the same time.
In any case, it was a cruel "pun" and little doubt that he intended it as such.

I'm pretty sure he removed Gustavo's comments too. They show up on my screen because they were there before, but if I click on his post, it's a dead link.
EDIT: THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF KEN OR HOW HE RUNS HIS FORUM. IT IS MERELY POINTING OUT TO GREENMAN THAT GUSTAV'S POST WASN'T STILL THERE. IT, TOO, WAS REMOVED LEAVING NO REASON FOR HIM TO STILL BE UPSET THAT "ONLY HIS POST WAS REMOVED".

He also posted an explicit warning to Gustavo to lay off the personal attacks or get a time-out.

Yes, he posted that last night after what Gustavo posted to Mugwump & Pikes.
This morning there was a warning to Mugwump about making fun of handicapped people, but he later changed it to a general warning.
Gustavo also top-posted something about that thread to Ken, complaining about the remark that Mugwump made (Abbott having no leg to stand on) and it being cruel to disabled folks. Greenman responded to it, which was removed first and later on, Gustavo's post was removed too. That is what Greenman was angry about.
EDIT: THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF KEN OR HOW HE RUNS HIS FORUM. IT IS MERELY AN EXPLANATION (FOR POPPET) OF WHAT TRANSPIRED.

I request you make me the same offer. For about 4 years I have not used the R&E board to criticize or attack anyone here. For about 4 years I have not allowed anyone on R&E to attack you or your forum.
You said I am your friend. I wish you could extend me the same offer that you extended to Mondo. I wish you would stop criticizing posters on my forum, and criticizing the way I run my forum. I'm tired of your unprovoked criticism. I want this to stop.
I understand you are not going to stop others here from criticizing me and my forum. So this request is only directed at you.

Unfortunately, Ken, you have the same problem Mongo had, and that’s an obsession with coming over here to see what a few people are saying to each other about yourself or your board.
Maybe take his example and stop doing that? Just a polite suggestion..

Ken, your mistaken perception aside, I have NOT been criticizing YOU or how you run your forum for years!! Stop accusing me of doing that !! I am quite annoyed by your claim thst I do when I go out of my way NOT to !!
I complained about your betrayal of a private conversation, that is all.
That said, I will criticize posters who act like jerks on your or ANY other forum any time I am so inclined!!
This crap is really quite far beyond annoying !!

While you are in awe of a tree, I’m in awe of the Creator. While you fixate on the part. I fixate on the Whole. Now what part of my post is toxic?

Another attack on Trish and Pagans from this lunatic, who even seems to recognize himself as a ‘toxic poster’ though Trish said nothing about him.
I notice that his posts regularly show up near mine, just coincidentally I’m sure. Just coincidental that he praises people I criticize and vice-versa, too…smh

Sorry for double posting it. I didn't see your post until after I already posted it too.

Cool.
He added another post directly to me on that same thread, BTW.
I suggested that we just take down the DNR. Isn’t it meaningless at this point?
I didn’t ask for it anyway.

In GOG’s defense I’ll agree with this:

So many to remember. The board discussions are suffocating with so many. How about a jubilee l? Wipe ‘em out. Try again. Recall those immortal words from Rodney King.
***
Rodney aside, there are 26 PAIRS OF POSTERS LISTED IN THE DNRs. Isn’t this getting ridiculous?
Why not take them down? Let people decide if they want them back up on an individual basis, one at a time.
Half of them are for banned/boycotting asshat Mongo, anyway…

They WERE all taken down a couple of years ago. The same groupings happened within a very short time. mongo deserves ethe 2 DNR taken out against him-- mine and Pikes --- the rest he took out to silence folks who he didn't want giving him back what he deserves.

Ken took down the one between GOG and me, we’re allowed to post. Not sure if the above was before or after that.
I’ll just refrain from dogging his footsteps and keep them to a minimum, mostly posts involving questions about factual matters.
Kudos to Ken for this call..

I see, to my disappointment, that my reply to Sia in which I criticized DNRs was taken down.
Evidently criticism of this nefarious concept is forbidden on the R & E Board, sad to say..

A whole bunch of posts were removed, perhaps that's why yours was removed? Mine were too.

Perhaps tied to GOG's DNR matter?
You'd have to check with Ken on this one. I wasn't on past AM ... granddaughter visit

Probably that’s what happened. I think that was the same thread.
I doubt that my thoughts were exactly welcomed either, for that matter…and it’s nothing I haven’t said before.
No biggie.
Offline
I'm quite sure that Ken couldn't care less about criticism of the DNR rules, so would never delete your comments about disliking DNRs. He's never deleted anyone else's negative comments about them before.
BOTH SES and GOG violated MY DNRs against them in that same thread with all kinds of responses attached to them. It's ALL gone now. Doubtful it was because of your comments, but because of THEIRS and my protestations about the violations.
Offline
Probably true. I was just suggesting that this was another count against DNRs; a lot of posters disobey them, and that disobedience has to be tracked down hand disciplined.
But Ken and supporters of DNRs disagree, so there’s really no point in dissent.
If I had a board it would either be subscription, or simple rules with tight enforcement. You are a model for moderation, as was Donatello.

Speaking (like Scalise) of cliques, I see there’s a little group crusading against science.
DFM and GOG have been joined by that white-board idiot Otis in attacking and denying Warming Science. And of course I can’t discuss the basis for their disagreement, politics. They’re all Trumpers and Righties, and simply accept what the Right tells them about the subject. ‘Warming FAKE! Fossil fuels GOOD!’
Well, it’s Otis’ profession, so he’s easier to comprehend, at least..

I do not understand the waste of time they put into finding tidbits that, according to them, is a nothingburger. If it's no big deal, then stop talking about it.

I'm guessing that the thread below is going to be seriously SNIPPED soon. I didn't complain, but just have a strong feeling because Mike Scalise/Gustavo ALWAYS goes too far and no doubt will if he hasn't already.
Also, greenman, what's with saying that Gustavo made a good call in labeling me a "drama queen" ?? I'm confused by that.

Actually, NO, we don't. However, SOME people do. STOP acting like he's a mooch. He's the VICTIM.

He was essentially robbed and unfairly victimized.
Now he is facing more than a few thou$and dollar$ in damages to his car. He is struggling to pay for repairs out of pocket because he doesn't have insurance for damage to his own vehicle, he only has liability for anything he might damage. He can't afford the extra coverage right now. The Covid pandemic did serious damage to his livelihood (professional orchestra) and bank account because people couldn't attend for significant time.
Sometimes people struggle financially through NO FAULT of their own. Sometimes they ALSO get victimized for no good reason and face expenses that are significant just to be "whole" again.
So, do you think that he's somehow BAD because some hateful punk stole and ruined HIS car and he can't afford the repairs ???
For a so-called Christian, you sure are a stinkin' B@$T@RD and a VERY HATEFUL PERSON.
Don't pretend that you also weren't making a barely disguised attempt to make a POLITICAL STATEMENT about those who generally belong to a particular political party. He's a clue. Pikes is NOT a De... well you know what I'm saying.
Just more proof that you are nothing but a HATEFUL TROLL who pretends to be a Christian.

Something was removed, I think. That was a sarcastic post in the first place, but I don’t believe it was a reply to the comment about you, either.
I was definitely making fun of him, in any case.
I’ve criticized this wholesale elimination of posts without explanation before, incidentally, for this very reason. Nobody knows where a disconnected post is going to end up, and posts look like they are ‘answering’ posts they were never linked to.
Not sure what to do about it; I know it’s probably a difficult cal sometimes.
